Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0195227A2] Magneto-optical disc memory. In a recording medium which has a disc-like substrate (1) and a magnetic film (2) provided thereon so that the data can be written thereon relying upon the change in the direction of magnetization, a magneto-optical disc-memory wherein said magnetic film (2) is provided with spiral or concentric guide tracks (21) which have said recording medium with a magnetic pole of a direction opposite to that of a recording region (22) between said guide tracks, and which further have an optical head that can be relatively moved in the radial direction of said recording medium, said optical head being equipped with an optical system (11, 12, 13) which applies a light beam (14) onto the recording region of said recording medium to write or reproduce the data and which also applies a light beam (15) to erase the data, and said optical head being further equipped with a detector system (16, 17, 18) which detects the direction of polarization of the light beam reflected by said recording medium.
